During the six-year period between Helplessness Blues and Crack-Up, the world eagerly awaited a follow-up to Fleet Foxes’ 2011 effort, but instead, watched frontman Robin Pecknold retreat from the public eye and drummer Josh Tillman find himself in a flamboyant alter ego. Luckily, Pecknold re-emerged, bringing Fleet Foxes back bigger and better than ever, and showed that the latest from the band was well worth the wait.

They brought Crack-Up to life on tour right before its release, also playing a special show for Live from the Artists Den at the Knockdown Center, which was formerly a glass-blowing facility and door factory, in Queens, N.Y. The indie-folk outfit performed old and new favorites, including “Blue Ridge Mountains” from their self-titled record and “Mykonos” from their 2008 EP Sun Giant, as well as “Third Of May/Odaigahara” from their new album.

One performance of a Cracked-Up cut was made available exclusively available online, and you can watch it below. In a live rendition of “I Am All That I Need / Arroyo Seco / Thumbprint Scar,” Pecknold’s unmistakable vocals mesmerize, while expansive instrumentals envelope the audience in an almost-orchestral experience. Functioning as three songs in one, the track goes through dynamic shifts, simulating different scenes of a story.

The Fleet Foxesedition of Live from the Artists Den will be broadcasting throughout the country starting in Los Angeles tomorrow, Sept. 30.
